    Sit Down: Artist Point is my favorite restaurant in the entire world. I love the food, the atmosphere and the wine!

    Fast Food: So many that I love, but I think Sunshine Seasons in Epcot is the best for food choices. Love it!

    Fine Dining: Would also go with Artist Point. It's fine dining, but has a rustic flair that I love.

    Sit down (not signature) is ohana. We love the fun atmosphere, love spending some quality time at the poly, it always kicks off vacation for us.

    Fast food we love the counter service at Morroco. I've yet to have a bad meal.

    Signature (or fine dining) hands down, not to be missed, Jiko. The bbq duck. Oh my Lord.

    Sit Down: Rose and Crown, UK Pavilion, EPCOT-Great service and great food. I love the atmosphere and my waiter was kind enough to let my family watch Illuminations from their special viewing area. In order to do this you may want to dine there for dinner no sooner than an hour before Illuminations.

    Fast Food: 1. Columbia Harbour House, Liberty Square, MK. One of the few CS places that offers more than your typical burger and fry fare. I love the seafood, soups and fresh sandwiches.
    2. Backlot Express, HS. They offer something for everyone, whether it's burgers, chicken tenders or my favorite, Southwest Chicken Salad with cilantro dressing. Best food location in HS.

    Fine Dining: Turf Club Bar and Grill, Saratoga Springs Resort, DTD Area. A lot of people don't know about this place but this place is by far one of the best fine dining restaurants I've ever been to. They offer steaks, seafood and other signature entrees. I ordered the NY Strip Steak which came with lobster fondue and vegetable. For desert I had a scrumptious apple crisp. The bread that was served for the table was top knotch and served with maple butter. We also ordered grilled romaine salad as an appetizer. This restaurant deserves 5/5 stars in my book and is a hidden gem (it's only 1 DP point!!!!) and afterwards you can take the boat to DTD for after dinner fun

    Please mention why and if there is something not to miss on the menu please share. - It's just DBF and myself so we sit at the bar for TS when we can. I hate making ADRs, so we usually try to snag seats this way. Our favorites are Prime Time and Yak and Yeti.

    Sit down - a tie between Boma and OHana. Just so much selection and good food at those places - not to mention lots of fun!

    Counter Service - without a doubt, Mara at the AKL. Some trips we will actually go there just for lunch! The soups and flat breads - just amazing.

    Fine Dining - For us it's probably California Grill - although we will need to check out the new and improved version to see if that is still true! We really enjoyed many of the appetizers they had there - I hope they haven't changed things too much!

    We're the opposite of you - big extended family with at least one if not more kids. So we're big on character meals. Especially breakfasts. We have so many favorites.

    We hate to miss 1900 Park Fare for supper. The Tremaine sisters are a major hoot. And Lady Tremaine is just like the movie - demanding, haughty. We have lots of favorite lines from visits with her. Cindy and the Prince are here too, but it's the Tremaines. The menu has recently changed, so I can't speak to anything. It's a buffet which used to have coq au vin, chicken marsala, and other ethnic Mediterranean dishes.

    We hate to miss Flametree BBQ at Animal Kingdom. We like this for the combo chicken/ribs, which is enough for two adult light eaters to share with a child. I like the chicken and the cole slaw, while DH likes the ribs and baked beans - when he can get them away from the kid that's usually with us. The other big draw is our favorite seating area, which is the path right beside the restaurant, staying to the right until you get to the covered pavilion on the water, with a view of Everest.

    Fine dining is something we don't do much. We usually have supper at Epcot, such as one of the Japan restaurants - liked Tokyo Dining on our last trip - or Marrakesh at Morocco which isn't fine dining really, except that usually the service has been good, attentive wait staff. Food has been uneven. I get the lemon chicken often which is heavenly when it's done well.

    You would have no trouble walking up to Marrakesh, I think. 1900 Park Fare might need a reservation. Easily enough checked online.

    There are so many places that we love but these are the places I would choose if I could only have one table service and one counter service.

    Table Service: Boma (We like it because the food is different for DH and I who are more adventerous eaters but they still have the basics for the kids) I love the salmon and all the different types of hummus.

    Counter Service: Tangerine Cafe at Epcot (We are not big burgers and fries fans and we always look for something different for our meals.) We always get the Shwarma Platter and Baklava

    Fine Dining: We haven't done it yet. I think there are enough quality places to choose from without having to spend the extra money
    Too many trips to count!
